Final loadings of the DFSB-C0 Clear Blue Fluorescent Dye can be as low as .0001%. Risk Reactor Inc also carries water-based additives, such as product codes IFWB-C0 and DFDRY, among many others. See our Fluorescent Dyes Water Based for more information.\u003cbr\u003eCoating Coverage: DFSB-C0 Clear Blue Fluorescent Dye provides an excellent means to determine coverage of either conventional or UV cure coatings.

This dye is highly concentrated and is clear when diluted. Under long wave black light activation, the tagged fuel fluoresces a strong, bright blue making it easy to find the leaks. Take some of the same fuel that will be tagged and mix the dye into it. The dye will instantly go into solution. Always do this under a black light, so you can see what you are doing. Be aware, fuel is highly flammable and any light source must be secure. The concentration level in the final loading can be .1-.0001% depending on numerous factors, such as the strength of the black light, the control of the ambient light when searching for the leak, the color of the background, etc. Use the mixed concentrate and enter into the fuel system.\u003cbr\u003eIdentification: DFSB-C0 Clear Blue Fluorescent Dye may be used in printing inks to facilitate the quick identification of security bonds, and also for a safeguard against forgeries, such as bank notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWaxes, Fats and Oils: DFSB-C0 Clear Blue Fluorescent Dye is soluble in waxes, paraffins, fats, mineral and vegetable oils, plus it may be mixed in with these substances as a solution for an organic solvent.
